I see you also use a tablet as a secondary music display/remote like me.
Giyas positive: they just aren't there....the subjective total disappearance of said speakers is spooky in a very positive sense.
Giyas negative: reliability D50 mid died on me, without even being driven hard.
They always remind me of the fifth element.Ooh Giyas, lovely. It’s like having an Great Old One’s tentacles in the room.

I've heard that about them more then once, ongoing issues with the Giva's and disappointing factory support to boot.Ah that's a shame! They're manufactured in the city in which I grew up, and a friend of mine worked there for many years, so it's disappointing to know that.
Physical media is still the only way to get the best sound quality. None of the streamers are doing lossless 5.1 - 24/96 or anything even close.Also, funnily, a relative of mine remarked how antiquated or obsolete my blu-ray/DVD/CD collection was which was displayed in a hallway. I kind of agree a little bit, but I only get stuff on discount/sale about 80% of the time. It certainly is cheaper than buying a “digital” copy this way. And at least it’s easy to lend discs. Although it was the first time that I kind of felt embarrassed to even still have physical media in today’s digital age. Still it surprises (and annoys) me how ebooks and digital downloads are sometimes more expensive than the physical copy which is just ridiculous.
Not my experience, I bought my Ovals second hand and had excellent support. Ok I’m based in the UK, with the HQ, probably helps.I've heard that about them more then once, ongoing issues with the Giva's and disappointing factory support to boot.
Yeah, it is indeed used for such purposes. I only keep it under the monitor when I'm actually at the desk, though. At other times it's being used to stream content to my integrated amp, usually when I'm in bed, or when I'm in the kitchen cooking as its speakers (stereo and tuned by Harmon Kardon) are quite good for a tablet.
It's a Huawei MediaPad M2 8.0 - Premium, by the way. I might replace it soon if I can find a great deal on a comparable one - it's 4 years old now...
Wonderful stands! Possibly the best I have ever seen.

Just bought the Yamahas, trying them out instead of the Ovals. Will decide which to keep soon. I don’t have the space for the Ovals in the secondary system, you’re right there.Why are they listed as “not currently used”? Seems like a nice pair of speakers like that should be a centrepiece and in regular use. Is it a “I currently don’t space they need” situation? (Not unusual here in Blighty)
Reminds me too much of a termite burrow. Makes me think a snake or something else creepy might crawl out of the holes.
*Although, come to think of it, I'm not surprised you say that given how you have a creepy half-bodied female mannequin in what appears to be a fireplace/shrine of sort in the middle of your, otherwise, gorgeous speakers! Why!? Okay, probably don't want to know...
Welcome to Audio Science Review!This is my current two channel rig. Always looking for ways to tweak performance (without spending ridiculous sums of cash).
I thought they had the "custom" look. Hard to find stuff in that style done in such beautiful wood.Thanks. Made them myself, African Padauk.
